When they got home, Zhao Dazhu and his wife had a big quarrel. If they hadn't been reluctant to throw things away, they would have thrown things away. Zhao Dazhu blamed his wife for looking for trouble and looking for trouble with Shen Zian and others, which ended up hurting himself. Now not only was Shen Zian severing ties with him in front of him, which made him lose face, but he would also be laughed at by people in the village in the future. He also had to take out 100 taels. When he thought of the 100 taels, he felt pain in his heart. He didn't even know if he could save 100 taels after earning half a lifetime, and it was just thrown away like this! Dazhu's wife blamed Zhao Dazhu for being incompetent.

"If you were capable, would I have done that? I live in a garden bigger than Fuyuan, and wear more beautiful silk and satin than Zian's wife! Would I have to plot against her? If you were capable, as soon as you said something today, I guarantee that no one in the village would dare to side with Shen Zian, and maybe even Shen Zian would not dare to offend you! Isn't it because you are incompetent?!"

Dazhu's wife yelled, and the more she spoke, the more she felt she was right. She wondered why Su Zhi was better than her in every way, even marrying a man who was better than her, a useless man. She became even more jealous of Su Zhi.

When Zhao Dazhu heard his daughter-in-law say this, he was so angry that he couldn't breathe for a long time. Finally, he waved his hand and went out. He didn't want to see this shrew again.

Everyone in the village heard how the Zhao family quarreled. Although they didn't hear what they quarreled about, they knew they quarreled, especially the Shen family next door. They also heard it. No matter whether they were kind-hearted or not, they all heard it as if they were listening to heavenly music. They had been angered countless times by the Zhao couple.

The old couple of the Zhao family and the people who didn't go to the village heard what happened from the people who came back. They all hated this neighbor even more, and at the same time, they felt that what Shen Zian did was really satisfying.

Shen Zhang was smiling, but her smile did not reach her eyes. She glanced at Shen Youfu. She thought that after all these years, she had finally let her son take the main position in this family, so that she, an old man, would not care about Shen Zian. Now Shen Zian was becoming more and more promising, and she could not let this old man change his mind. After all, her son was the most important son in this family.

Shen Zhang also knew that although she was a co-wife, she was still called a wife. Her status seemed to be quite high in recent years. Even Shen Zian called her mother. But she was the only one who knew. Shen Zian called her mother because it was Shen Youfu's deceased first wife who asked him to call her that. No matter how glorious a co-wife was, she could not compare to the first wife. In this world, there were no two wives who were equal. Now that woman was dead. No one was competing with her, but that man's son was still there. If you compare it, Shen Zian was the son of the first wife, and he was the most legitimate son!

Shen Zhang couldn't let her son be suppressed, especially her youngest son. Such a talented young man would become a high-ranking official in the future. How could he be suppressed by a country bumpkin? How could he be said to be lower in status than a country bumpkin when he was mentioned?

Only Shen Zian is a failure, only his brilliance cannot compare with Shen Ziju, then Shen Ziju and Shen Ziju are safe.

Over the years, Shen Zhang had been doing very well. Although Shen Zian had not grown up under Shen Zhang's tolerance, he was still taciturn. He was like ice and wood, and not particularly likable. However, Shen Ziju was raised to be a handsome young man, and was very much loved by Shen Youfu. As long as he was loved by Shen Youfu, Shen Ziju would be the legitimate son, and Shen Zian would have no way to suppress him!

But now that Shen Zian is married, he is actually getting better and better with the help of Zhao Xiaomei, which makes Shen Zhang feel nervous.

"We don't know when Zi Ju will come back. He will definitely pass the exam this time, and maybe even rank among the top. When he comes back, we can have another good feast."

Shen Zhang said to Shen Youfu with a smile, her face full of pride.

"Zi Ju can now choose his marriage. When the time comes, he can go to the capital and find a daughter of an official. This will surely make his career smoother. By then, we will be the master and his wife. With an official's daughter to serve us, we will enjoy a happy life and it will not be in vain for all the hardship we have endured over the years."

Shen Youfu was originally thinking about Shen Zian, but when he heard Shen Zhang mention Shen Ziju, he turned his attention to him. Then when he heard what she said and thought of the good days in the future, his face lit up again. He thought that he would be an old lady in the future and might be able to live in the capital, which would be glorious.

Seeing that Shen Youfu's attention was on Shen Ziju again, Shen Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, but she still frowned when she thought of Shen Zian and Su Zhi.

Shen Zian and Su Zhi were still at the entrance of the village at this time. Most of the villagers had left, and only they and Liu Xiaosi were still there.

"Brother, sister-in-law, I'm leaving now, take care."

Liu Xiaosi looked at Dahei again and sighed slightly, thinking that he might never see Dahei again, but it was good to know that it was still alive.

"Here, this is for you. Go to the Baise Embroidery Shop in town and find the shopkeeper Su there. Ask her if she has any work for you. If you are lucky, you may be able to find a job. If not, you can find a job on your own."

Su Zhi looked at Liu Xiaosi's expression and thought that he probably had nowhere to go and had to beg for food. She thought that he had finally turned over a new leaf and helped them solve the problem of Zhao Dazhu and his wife. This gave him a way out. Sometimes you have to lend a hand. It is better to have more good people in the world than more bad people.

Su Zhi thought that this was Dahei's former owner after all, and it was his father who wanted to kill Dahei, not him. Dahei had forgiven him, so she didn't need to care about it, so she took out a small purse with more than 20 coins in it. She always carried it with her so that she could find money when buying snacks for the kids or buying small things in the village. Now she gave it to Liu Xiaosi out of kindness.

Liu Xiaosi was excited when he heard what Su Zhi said to him. Then he took the purse that Su Zhi gave him, looked at the exquisite embroidery, and felt the copper and silver inside. He was very grateful.

"Sister-in-law, thank you so much. I really don't know how to thank you. Don't worry, if you need my help in the future, I will do my best to help you."

Liu Xiaosi bowed deeply to Su Zhi and then to Shen Zian. His face was dirty and tears were flowing. He wiped it with his sleeve and it became even dirtier.

After watching Liu Xiaosi's thin figure walk away, Su Zhicai and Shen Zian walked back hand in hand.

Su Zhi and Shen Zian would not know about what happened today. They made enemies and also made friends, which caused some troubles in their future lives.

But now they were completely unaware of this. They just felt peace in their hearts because the storm had passed. They walked forward happily hand in hand, attracting countless envious glances at them.

Good news never travels far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. This saying applies everywhere.

The fact that Hebian Village was almost robbed by refugees was finally heard by the wealthy people in the town. They were all concerned when they heard that the holy beast was almost abducted. After knowing which county the refugees were from, they took it seriously and informed County Magistrate Zhou directly. When County Magistrate Zhou heard that the neighboring county of the neighboring county was actually planning to take the holy beast of their county, he was very unhappy. Regardless of whether it was related to the county magistrate, he immediately sent a document to his top boss to report the matter of the holy beast first. He thought that if someone else took the holy beast away, where would he go to cry? It is better to report it first, so that if someone else comes to steal it again, he will have a reason to complain.

The prefect was very surprised and delighted when he heard about the holy beast, especially when he heard County Magistrate Zhou's vivid description of the strange relationship between the young couple of the Shen family and the holy beast. He not only cared about the holy beast, but also had an impression of Shen Zian and his wife. Hearing about their Fuyuan, he was also yearning for it, thinking about going to see the garden that felt like entering spring. Hearing that the garden was called Fuyuan, the prefect was very happy and first wrote the two big characters Fuyuan, had someone make it into a plaque, and sent it with the reply to County Magistrate Zhou. He also said that he would definitely go to see the holy beast when he had time.

County Magistrate Zhou immediately sent Bian over.

This plaque was written by the prefect. Even though County Magistrate Zhou could not meet the prefect, he still gave him enough face. Moreover, it was also for Shen Zian's family to see. The meaning was: Look, how much face I have won for you?

The day of sending the bean was extremely lively. County Magistrate Zhou came in person, and the wealthy Zhang and several well-known gentry followed. Some rode horses, some sat in sedan chairs, and the big bean was covered with red silk. Fireworks were set off at the entrance of the village, attracting a lot of attention. When they saw such a luxurious carriage and sedan chair, they asked around and realized that it was the county magistrate who came. When they heard that he was sending the bean to Shen Zian's family, someone immediately went to deliver the letter.

Shen Youfu and Shen Zhangshi heard the commotion at the door, but they didn't know what it was about. They figured it wasn't Shen Ziju's good news, it wasn't the right time, so what could it be? When they heard the letter from Dalang, they were both stunned.

Some people in the Shen family were happy while others were jealous, but everyone had a smile on their face.

When we arrived at Fuyuan, we set off firecrackers again.

Shen Zi'an and Su Zhi had received the news long ago, and came out to greet them. They bowed and exchanged greetings with County Magistrate Zhou and his people, then hung up the plaque and invited everyone into the garden.

As soon as they entered the garden, everyone was amazed. Those who had been there before felt better, but those who had not felt as if they had entered a world different from the outside world. The outside world was a primitive world, while this place was like a fairyland in heaven.

While everyone was talking, Old Man Lan came over and said a few words. Su Zhi bowed and said she had something to do and left with Old Man Lan.
